lesliec commented on 5/17/2021:

This is very nice on an early-winter evening. Two minor quibbles: it's a bit small, and I'd change how the Campari is listed. 4tsp is 20ml or 2/3oz, so possibly easier to think of it that way rather than fiddling with multiple spoonsfull.

1 1⁄2 oz Gin (Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin)
3⁄4 oz Dark Crème de Cacao
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur (Pomp & Whimsey Gin Liqueur)
1 oz Grapefruit juice (Texas ruby red grapefruit)
4 ds Lemon bitters
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a frozen coupe glass.

1⁄2 oz Orange flower water
1⁄2 oz Lavender syrup
3 ds Aztec Chocolate bitters

2. Add all other ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake very well.
3. Strain into the coupe glass.

Notes

The balancing act for me is the Campari: I like it just a tad bitter-y. Everything else swirls nicely around it.

History

A huge reconstruction project is finally done and I'm still a bit off-balance.
